Yup, at our level, bigger differences in rider than tyres.

My main gripe with RTS was Alpha 13-SPs were available in 130 & 140mm rear sizes, but they refused to sell them. With 150mm rear, I could never break rear-end loose, even with whacking open full-throttle in middle of corners. It would just push front-end and tuck it.
